You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Oh No, I’ve Become An Airhead!
Li Weimin said, “Old Sun, don’t underestimate him because of his young age, he is…”
“The founder of the Controllable Nuclear Fusion project? Do you believe that? ”
Sun Ruilei coldly snorted, “If an Old Professor had suggested this, I might have taken a second look! Now, him? I’ll just ask one question, kid, what’s your education level? Did you even go to college? ”
Everyone who knew that the Controllable Nuclear Fusion project was showing initial success had signed non-disclosure agreements; Sun Ruilei and the others did not know about this yet. While others did not speak, the expressions in their eyes showed their stance.
Su Qin’an’s eyes twitched, and three words involuntarily popped into his mind.
Nine-leak fish.
As the Daojian Sect’s First True Disciple, a new generation genius, he had received Yin Wanshan’s guidance since childhood. Although he had contact with the Mortal Realm, he absolutely would not have attended school.
So Sun Ruilei asking about his education level was hitting a sore spot.
Forget college, he hadn’t even been to kindergarten!
Judging solely by his education, he’s completely uneducated!
Seeing Su Qin’an not speak, Sun Ruilei continued, “If you think this method is truly feasible, then call over the elders from your family who proposed this plan to talk to us. If you’re just a fraud…”
Zhang Xian, who was beside him, tugged at him, gesturing for him not to speak so harshly.
But Sun Ruilei ignored him: “If you’re just here to fraudulently fill a position, then I advise you to leave! This isn’t the place to gild your resume! ”
He had already imagined Su Qin’an as the young master of some family, needing to take over the company but unable to convince others due to his resume, so he came here specifically to gild his resume.
He just didn’t know how powerful that family was to allow Liu Qiming to relent.
If it were to gild his resume elsewhere, Sun Ruilei wouldn’t have said anything. But Controllable Nuclear Fusion requires a massive amount of funding and will definitely be a primary research direction for the Nation in the future. It absolutely cannot become a plaything for a rich kid!
Just as Su Qin’an was about to speak, Li Weimin pulled out a stack of papers, “Since the atmosphere is like this, let’s all trouble everyone to sign a non-disclosure agreement! ”
“What is this? ” Sun Ruilei signed without thinking, “A non-disclosure agreement for what? ”
“Everyone must keep the things we’re about to discuss confidential. ”
Li Weimin said, “Currently, our Controllable Nuclear Fusion has shown initial success. The nuclear reactor can now continuously operate for more than fifty seconds…”
“Fifty seconds? Is that really true? ”
“It should be true…”
“What are the international results? Are there even three seconds…”
“Quiet, those who want to know the relevant data can view it after signing the non-disclosure agreement. Now we have other important things to do. ” Li Weimin said, “All this is based on the research method we have for controllable nuclear fusion. And this research method was given by Team Leader Su. Therefore, the Nation decided to appoint Team Leader Su as the leader of our team! ”
“What! This… this is absolutely no joke! ” Sun Ruilei was stunned, “Don’t lie to me! ”
“Old Sun! When has Old Li ever lied about these things? ”
Zhang Xian smiled, “The Nation was able to restart this project because we already have results! Does anyone have any more doubts about Team Leader Su? ”
Sun Ruilei snorted, “I still reserve my opinion. If Team Leader Su truly has the skills, I will sincerely apologize. Team Leader Su, please understand, I will follow the arrangements. ”
“So… can I speak now? ”
Su Qin’an then said, “Since I’ve been appointed team leader, I’ll first talk about the next arrangements. Everyone, go to the laboratory now, any problems? ”
“None! ”
Ten minutes later, after observing a controllable nuclear reactor burn, everyone fell into deep thought.
Although they had heard Li Weimin talk about the results, hearing it and actually seeing it were two different things.
“The material of the nuclear reactor base is incorrect. ”
Su Qin’an thought for a moment and said, “Change it, this alloy steel doesn’t have enough temperature resistance. Also, the energy focusing method can also be changed. ”
“Changing the base means dismantling and reinstalling it, which will take a considerable amount of time. ” Zhang Xian said, “As for the focusing method… isn’t that the method you provided? ”
“Ah, this…” Su Qin’an lightly coughed, “Even the methods I suggested can be modified…”
“Change it to what? ” Li Weimin asked, “Currently we don’t have any other methods; other methods are not as good as this experiment. ”
“The Tokamak device, the artificial sun device. ” Su Qin’an said, “I’ll think about the specifics of how to modify it and give you the answer tomorrow. In addition, the superconducting materials also need to be changed…”
After the system upgrade, something new was added, which Su Qin’an had only discovered a few days ago.
It stored a lot of knowledge, including technology, literature, and various other fields.
This is incredibly powerful. It’s equivalent to having the entire human knowledge base with him, readily available anytime, anywhere. Coupled with his cultivator’s memory, it can be described in three words: Easy win.
The others behind him were stunned, unable to utter a single word.
Although Su Qin’an’s educational level was unknown, why did what he said make them feel like they couldn’t understand?
That night, Su Qin’an began his study endeavors.
Unexpectedly, after cultivating for a lifetime, he still had to study until midnight.
However, while the knowledge base had a lot of information, it wasn’t difficult for him to understand.
[System prompt: There are five and a half months left until the quest ends. If the quest is not completed by then, the host will be punished! ]
This reminder from the system alerted Su Qin’an.
Time was not enough.
Even if he could produce the manufacturing method for controllable nuclear fusion, but… he didn’t have the materials!
Just like nuclear bombs, many countries know the manufacturing methods for nuclear bombs, but why can only a few countries make them? It’s because they don’t have the materials!
Although Controllable Nuclear Fusion has shown initial success, it does not yet have the ability to be put into action. To continue development, new materials are essential.
But how long it would take to develop these materials, who knows?
Therefore, to quickly enhance China’s military strength, he could only start with existing technology.
After thinking for a while, Su Qin’an opened his computer and started composing a new email.
Single-soldier exoskeleton manufacturing method, with diagrams.
Sixth-generation combat aircraft manufacturing method.
Once these two things came out, China’s military strength would definitely see a significant increase!
At 1 AM that night, in Kyoto, at Liu Qiming’s home.
Liu Qiming looked at the two emails from Qing’an and fell into deep thought.
Didn’t Su Qin’an go to the Mobei Controllable Nuclear Fusion Research Base?
What was he sending now?
The fifth-generation fighter jet had only been released recently, and he already had the sixth generation?
Liu Qiming tremblingly opened the email; it contained the relevant information that Su Qin’an had gleaned from the knowledge base.
“I…”
Su Qin’an meant that after he returned, he wanted a copy of the single-soldier exoskeleton data; he wanted to develop something new. The sixth-generation fighter jet would be developed first; once the controllable nuclear fusion here could be put into use, it could be directly used militarily.
If it were someone else, they might have ignored Su Qin’an’s email as nonsense.
But Liu Qiming was different.
He knew Su Qin’an’s scientific research capabilities.
This was the genius who gave the nanolithography machine technology! He only gave the method, didn’t participate in the research at all, and the nanolithography machine was still made!
Therefore, he immediately decided…
To treat Su Qin’an’s words as a loud, meaningless fart and ignore them.
The single-soldier exoskeleton could be given, but the fighter jet could be passed on.
After all, Su Qin’an said that once the controllable nuclear fusion could be used, the fighter jet could be directly used, but who knows when the controllable nuclear fusion would be ready?
The current situation was becoming increasingly tense… time was too precious…
